Combining R&B, jazz, hip-hop, blues and folk into a smartly packaged debut, Cherokee shows the world her skills as a singer, songwriter, musician and producer. I LOVE YOU...ME is an interesting album that takes the listener on a dynamic musical journey. Throughout this 11-song debut, Cherokee offers songs that sound like they've been ripped from her soul for the sake of telling a story to the listener. You'll hear influences from '60s and '70s soul to modern hip-hop--check out the piano work of the legendary Billy Preston on "My Queen." A bold lyricist, Cherokee takes an unflinching look at the notion of her own death on "While I'm Flyin'." Other tunes deserving of a close listen are "Oopsy Daisy," "Misty" and the jazzy "Blue Bottle Afta Shave."
